Help needed, PF 100 Mann Lake, shipping to Serbia

Hi all,

I want to try out the small cell foundation which is not available here in Serbia. Anyone using this PF 100 Mann Lake frame here willling to send me one? Of course I would pay the shipment and the frame. it would be awesome if I get only the plastic foundation as I dont need the whole frame.

The thing is if I buy it directly from Mann Lake, the shipping costs would probably be much higher than the cost of the frames. I've contacted them anyway and wait for their response as well.

Anyway, with this frame, I would try to make a simple mold and a foundation pressing thing, like the one which can be seen here: http://isentsov.blogspot.com/2011/09/blog-post_16.html
It is a Russian blog but you can use Google translate, or just get the idea from the pictures.

Re: Help needed, PF 100 Mann Lake, shipping to Serbia

Thanks for commenting Michael. Here is what Mann Lake's UK representative wrote:
"Further to your enquiry we can quote for the following PF-205 that we have (dimensions 450x231mm with cell size 4.9mm) these are in black frames:-" But the price for 10 frames and its shipment isn't really acceptable for me. It's somethign like 10$ per frame.
Here is what Mann Lake people told me:
"Does Serbia allow the importation of products with a natural beeswax coating? The PF-100 standard plastic frames have a beeswax coating, but we also have this product available without the coating (PF-200). "

They have a point, here people are afraid of importing bees wax and bees, and everything else which could be seen as a threat of contamination. Not really allowed. Though I am not sure PF-200 has the same cell size as PF-100.
Very complicated unfortunatelly.
